Apply by Fri Aug. 28 at 5:00 PM to be considered for the next funded cohort. ETG itself has no government deadline. Our support slots do, because we can only walk a fixed number of employers through the paperwork each week.
No cost. No obligation. Funding approval is decided through the B.C. Employer Training Grant, not by AI Edge.
Graduates using the skills on the job. Time back. Work actually getting out the door.
55+ BC organizations trained in 2024/5. 90%+ completion. 5–10 hours/week reported by graduates. Results vary by role.
You do not need to hire for that. You need people who can stop spending half the week on work AI should already be carrying.
For a small BC shop that usually means less copy-paste, faster customer replies, cleaner reports, and more time for the judgment only your people can do.
01
Potential time back each week, depending on the role and how hard they apply it.
02
More output from the team you already have, not a new job posting.
03
When the tool changes next year, the habit still works.
The time savings do not come from memorizing a prompt. They come from a set of habits you use on real tasks, every week, until they are just how you work.
01
Choose or build the right AI setup for the work.
02
Use AI collaboratively to improve the instructions you give it.
03
Define the result before jumping into tasks.
04
Ground work in better evidence, research and knowledge.
05
Choose the appropriate kind of AI for the job.
06
Manage context deliberately so AI understands the work.
07
Move from isolated tasks toward better systems and workflows.
How many of the seven are you already using? The 3-minute assessment will tell you, then hand you a playbook.
Both workshops are free. You will see how we teach, leave with something you can use on Monday, and decide if the 12-week program is the right next step.

What actually matters now, where AI fits in a small business, and how to start without making a mess.
View times and registerTwelve weeks. 36 hours total. One live hour a week, plus about two hours of practice on work you already have to finish anyway. Eddy is there 24/7 when you get stuck between sessions.
The program is built in two deliberate phases. The first builds personal mastery — your skills, your workflows, your AI work assistant. The second turns that mastery outward, applying it to leadership, collaboration, and team-wide impact.
Weeks 1–8
Everything starts with you. Participants build personal AI capability from the ground up — mastering the four core skills and applying them directly to their own role, responsibilities, and daily work.
Weeks 9–11
Once the skill is yours, we turn it outward. Participants apply their AI capability to leadership, communication, and team impact — becoming the person in their organization who raises everyone else's game.
Most AI training fails because it is built for tools, not people. AI Edge is built on adult learning principles — the same research-backed approach used to develop high-performing professionals in medicine, trades, and elite education. Skills are not transferred through slides. They are built through guided practice, applied to real work, with support when it counts.
Every session is built around how adults actually retain skills — not lectures, not passive watching. You practice on real work, get feedback in the moment, and repeat until the skill is yours. That is what makes it stick.
Each participant gets coaching time directly tied to their actual role and responsibilities. Not generic exercises — your inbox, your workflow, your decisions. Skills land differently when they are built on work that matters to you.
Stuck mid-week? Hit a wall on a real task? Office hours are there when you need them. Ongoing access to ask questions, work through problems, and keep momentum between sessions.
"The goal is not to finish the program. The goal is to never want to work without these skills again."
Foundational AI Literacy is a 36-hour program. You will get a working grasp of core AI ideas, practice with tools people actually use, and enough judgment to know when not to trust the output.
One live instructor-led hour each week (12 hours), plus about two hours a week of guided practice on your own work (24 hours). The weeks build on each other. Maximum class size is 15.
People who want a foundation, not a computer science degree. Basic computer and internet skills are enough. It is not designed to lead to a certification or a regulated occupation.
Online. Live sessions plus asynchronous practice. Human instructors on the live hour. Eddy for 24/7 support in between.
No. Employer eligibility and reimbursement are decided through the B.C. Employer Training Grant process. We help you see whether it is worth applying. We do not approve funding.
